Werner Boote.
It is the Age of Plastic. It's cheap, practical, and everywhere. But is it dangerous? Viewers are taken on a journey around the globe, from the Moroccan Sahara to the middle of the Pacific Ocean, from a factory in China to the Alps to reveal the far-flung reaches of the plastic problem. Interviews with experts in biology, pharmacology, and genetics shed light on the perils of plastic to the environment and expose the truth of how plastic affects the body, and the health of future generations.
DVD, region 1; NTSC; wide screen.
COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Too much plastic! submitted by Lea on July 3, 2011, 7:14pm If you live an informed life, you may not learn much new, but this is still a thought-provoking, interesting, and entertaining documentary. I was a little concerned though, with all of Werner Boote's plastic sniffing (and licking!). This movie has encouraged me to live with less plastic - and my children too!
